A plea agreement that calls for Dr. Larry Nassar to plead guilty to federal child pornography charges is sparking outrage among advocates for former teenage gymnasts who accuse the onetime Michigan State University physician of sexual assault.

John Manly — a California-based attorney who represents more than 90 women in a lawsuit that accuses Nassar of sexually assaulting them — said Monday the U.S. Attorney’s office officials recently met with nine of his clients who were gymnasts either on the national or Olympics teams.

While Nassar will still face three trials in state court involving scores of criminal sexual conduct charges, Manly said the federal authorities told the young women they wouldn’t prosecute Nassar on charges that he penetrated them without gloves, lubricant or consent under the guise of medical treatment...

Ridiculous! Why should this well known doctor get plea deals for so many cases? As many young women who came forward, there MUST be truth to it. They were very brave to step up and report him.

Why spend all the hours of investigating him if only to give him a pass on the majority of his charges?

It is deals like this that just irk me when we know of the many crimes he has committed, what about the ones he didn't get caught with? It is highly unlikely that LE, FBI, or other investigating agencies are aware of everything in his past.
Another Jerry Sandusky? JMO.

Dr. Larry Nassar will plead guilty to child pornography charges during a hearing Tuesday.*
The former Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics physician was arrested last year on the child pornography charges including:

-Receipt and attempted receipt of child pornography
-Possession of child pornography
-Destruction and concealment of records and tangible objects

Nassar has agreed to plead guilty to all of those charges. As part of the plea agreement he*will not be prosecuted for sexual exploitation and attempted sexual exploitation of children, as well as interstate or international travel with intent and engaging in illicit sexual conduct. Those charges were related to an incident which is alleged to have occurred in*Nassar's*swimming pool with two children in the summer of 2015...*

The gymnastics doctor at the center of a sexual-abuse scandal that rocked the Olympic sport pleaded guilty on Tuesday to federal child pornography charges after striking a deal that some of his accusers denounced as "outrageous."

The plea agreement, which still has to be accepted by the judge, calls for a reduced sentence of 22 to 27 years; the three counts each carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

The agreement also means Larry Nassar, 54, will not face federal criminal charges for allegedly molesting Olympic and national team gymnasts at out-of-state and overseas locations. He does face trial on state charges for alleged abuse in Michigan. ls for a reduced sentence of 22 to 27 years; the three counts each carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison...

The plea agreement, first reported Friday evening by the Detroit News, was signed by Nassar on June 23, and by his attorney July 5. Prosecutors are expected to file the document in federal court Tuesday. Nassar still faces 22 state charges in Michigan relating to allegations of sexually assaulting children, and convictions in those cases could result in a life sentence. Nassar has maintained his innocence.

[...]

In September, the document states, Nassar paid $49 to have a computer service store “wipe” his work laptop, and also tried to dispose of two hard drives. Police discovered the hard drives in Nassar’s garbage cans when they came to search his home. An FBI agent later testified that the hard drives contained approximately 37,000 images and videos of child pornography, some showing girls as young as 6.

Hopefully, there will be enough from the remaining cases to put Nassar in prison the rest of his life. But, dropping the other charges is like a slap in the face for those girls (some now women) who were assaulted by him, and after they worked up the courage to come forward with their claims against him.
